Goal Statement: The goal of the STEP research program is to develop a rating scale for a shortened infant motor screening tool that requires minimal training and time to administer, correlates with the concurrent gold standard tests, has good reliability when used by usual neonatal care providers, and is sensitive enough to reasonably predict longer term outcome of preterm infants at risk for developmental delay ($30,000)
